Providing solutions and adding value

TWI is one of the world’s foremost independent research and technology organisations, with expertise in solving problems in all aspects of manufacturing, fabrication and whole-life integrity management technologies.

Consultancy and Troubleshooting

As one of the world’s foremost engineering research and technology firms, TWI is ideally placed to serve as an expert consultant to its Member companies.

TWI is an organisation founded on in-depth knowledge of materials joining and engineering technologies, and how these are applied in industry. We can offer advice and guidance on issues affecting your business right now – from asset life management, combatting corrosion and selecting the right joining technique for a niche application, to refining health and safety protocol, improving quality assurance or interpreting an ISO standard.

Sometimes it may only take a phone call or an e-mail to one of our engineers. Or, we can work with you in the longer term on a more complex study such as bespoke testing on a component; identifying the best way to bring a new product to market; or devising new manufacturing methods.

If your business involves the application of science and technology, we can help you to improve what you do.

We can work with you on novel designs, for example, or in tailoring fabrication processes and inspection techniques, at the same time improving safety, efficiency and profitability.

We provide our Members with valuable assistance at all stages of a project, from concept design through to decommissioning and recycling.

Expert witness and arbitration

Our Members turn to us when they require an expert witness as part of litigation proceedings or to assist with conflict resolution. Our impartiality and status as a respected technical authority means we are often able to prevent disputes escalating.
